Methyl \Meth"yl\, n. [See {Methylene}.] (Chem.)       A hydrocarbon radical, {CH3}, not existing alone but regarded       as an essential residue of methane, and appearing as a       component part of many derivatives; as, methyl alcohol,       methyl ether, methyl amine, etc. [Formerly written also       {methule}, {methyle}, etc.]          {Methyl alcohol} (Chem.), a light, volatile, inflammable             liquid, {CH3.OH}, obtained by the distillation of wood,             and hence called {wood spirit}
